In this episode of the Engaging People Pod, James Bott returns to discuss his journey from serial entrepreneur and business owner to investor and entrepreneur, and how his approach to business and risk has evolved.
James shares what happened after exiting Jellyfish, why he chose to invest in fewer businesses more meaningfully, the lessons he has learned from startup investing, and why understanding risk, dilution and long-term returns is so important.
He also reveals the story behind Boxbar, the self-serve drinks technology business transforming how customers buy drinks at major venues, arenas and events. From its early beginnings to working with some of the UK's biggest venues, James explains the opportunity, challenges and ambitions behind the business.
The conversation also explores financial planning after a business exit, managing wealth, investing strategically, avoiding lifestyle inflation and the importance of working with trusted financial and professional advisers.
If you're interested in entrepreneurship, startup investing, business exits, wealth management, financial planning, investment strategy and building a high-growth business, this episode is well worth a listen.
